The stipend award is on top of any other compensations granted senators and is only awarded when a senator goes beyond the minimum requirements set for receiving a tuition waiver. The Academic V.P. and ASWSC Advisor make the decision of who qualifies for the stipend based on a senators performance "above and beyond the call of duty." The stipend is drawn from a S 1 600 fund that was allocated to stimulate senate performance. "The original intent of theS1600 was to enhance Open Hour," said ASWSC Advisor Rick Sline. "It should be used to reward outstanding performances by senators." The defeated amendment was introduced by Traditional Students Senator Scott Forsberg and would have opened the list of candidates for the bonus stipend to any member of the ASWSC who had exhibited exemplary performance.

The Signpost followed next, with a "presentation that set the standard," according to Kotter. Requesting an increase of 53,100 over last year's 536,900 budget, for a total of 542,000, and a one-time allocation of 56,000 for a vertical process camera used to screen photos for publication, members of The Signpost's delegation met with some resistance. Alsup noted how the paper was able to provide half of it's operating budget through advertising revenue, and asked if granted half of their one-time allocation, would they be able to make up the rest from advertising revenue. "The clients we get are very small. To go out and raise another four or five thousand dollars is very difficult," said Faculty Advisor Larry Stahle. "Advertising is never a steady flow. There are your up seasons, and then there's rock bottom," added Advertising Manager Debra Luby. "We're really working with nickel and dime people. We've never been in competition with the SlandardIExaminer, and we never will be." "The problem is everyone is trying to provide services for the students and none of us have the money to do it," said Jessen. (see FEES on page 6) The Student Fee Allocation Committee (SFAC) met Tuesday in the first of five sessions to hear budget requests from student organizations. Five groups, the Metaphor, ForensicsDebate, The Signpost, KWCR and the newly-formed Multicultural Center, were given 45 minutes each to present their 1989-90 budget requests to the 1 1 -member committee. The Metaphor, Weber's "student literary magazine," requested a total of S7,000 from the committee, an increase of S2.000 over last year's allocation, and 5500 less than last year's request. Of chief interest to the committee was the issue of distribution and availability. The Metaphor currently has a circulation of 2,500 copies, which ASWSC President Stephanie Jessen felt was inadequate. After some discussion of the issue, Metaphor editor, Heather Hales promised to provide additional figures to the committee. "I think the board is open to additional funding for increasing your circulation if you can increase your circulation," said Dr. Marie Kotter, vice-president of student affairs. ForensicsDebate was next on the agenda, requesting a 58,500 increase over last year's 524,200, for a total budget request of 532,700. According to senior debater Jim Summers, reasons for the increase are four-fold: 1) the forensics program adds credibility to WSC; 2) the forensics program has a reputation for academic excellence; 3) the forensics program grants nationwide exposure to WSC students through an "individual events" program and an expanding CEDA program; and 4) to fund the annual high school debate tournament which, he estimates, brings approximately 1,000 people to WSC. Summers also added the ForensicsDebate team was able to raise some money themselves, so they are not totally dependant on the SFAC for their funding. "The students pay for a lot of their own supplies," said Mike Bryant, director of forensics, citing legal pads, boxes, pencils and copying expenses as examples. When Non-Traditional Student Senator Dan Alsup questioned how the expenditure was helpingstudents-in-gencral, Bryant responded saying "the people involved are 'studcnts-in-general'. There is nothing else on campus that allows students to compete with Harvard," referring to Weber's recent debating victory over Harvard University. "So, it sets an example of success for other students,
